Iconic photographer Chris Cuffaro has shot the biggest bands and artists from the late 80s, 90s and more. If you’re a fan of George Michael, INXS, Nirvana, Chris Cornell, Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Doubt or Pearl Jam (the list goes on and on), you’ve definitely seen his work. Chris loves to talk as much as he loves taking photos, so it's a candid and entertaining retrospective of his rock photography career and the unforgettable experiences he's had along the way. We’ll talk about the George Michael fan he’ll never forget, swapping shoes with Michael Hutchence, shooting his hero, Carlos Santana…and the only artist that ever made him cry.
